he KT-200 was my first receiver I used as a novice along with a Heathkit DX-60 
ransmitter.  I traded it in on an HQ-100 and always wished I had kept the 
T-200. I finally picked up another on eBay and completely restored it. The 
estoration can be seen at:

 Hi to all! As a long time collector of Lafayette radios, I am quite perplexed 
t the outrageous pricing of some of the different models.
 
 For example:
 My first 'good' receiver as a young Novice back in the dinosaur days, was an 
E-80. I now have several of those and also a HA-225. They appear to be 
lentiful and inexpensive. The one radio I need to 'finish' my collection of 
afayette / Trio radios, is an HE-10. I KNOW they must have sold these by the 
ruckload and although it's not a Racal or WJ, the selling price is insane, and 
eavily bid.
 I am referring to eBay of course, where I get all my stuff. (living in the 
ilds of North Florida, I have no choice)
 I also have NO desire to collect the Hallicrafters S-120 clones. I had one of 
hose and it still makes my stomach turn, 40 years later!!! ha ha
 
 Even the 'kit' version of the HE-10 (KT-200), go for a LOT. Osterman lists the 
E-10 as "scarce". If you see a really clean version of these old girls, the 
ricing is just plain silly.
 
 Perhaps they are more 'scarce' than I thought????
 
 Funny thing, Osterman says, "the HE-10 was styled after the Hallicrafters S-38 
ut is a superior radio". That is kinda funny........
 
 tnx
